I'm Analise. I'm 20 going on cynical old lady. I like beautiful pictures, funny things, words, music, food, fireworks, television, magic, dogs, Harry Potter, wanderlust, books, sarcasm, cheese, movies, and anything else that strikes a chord within my soul. This blog is a reflection of where my mind wanders and the things it finds along the way. There's a lot of food, whatever I'm obsessing over at the moment, and general randomness.

Greg Laswell - I’d Be Lying
Won’t you let me give you a hand
I have an extra I’m not using
Won’t you let me lighten your load
I mean after all your legs are shaking
And I can understand, all I need is your hand
Oh, won’t you take the fall? It is me after allWon’t you let me match your stride
I can slow down if you want to
We can handle it side by side
What do you say girl don’t you want to
And I can understand, all I need is your hand
Oh, won’t you take the fall? It is me after allI’d be lying if I ran another way
I’d be lying if I ran another way
… and so I’ll stayBut won’t you let me be your man
I’m strong enough, you know that I can
Be the one to ease your mind
Ease your mindAnd I can understand, all I need is your hand
Oh, won’t you take the fall? It is me after allI’d be lying if I ran another way
I’d be lying if I ran another way
… and so I’ll stayWon’t you let me give you a hand
I have an extra I’m not using
Won’t you let me lighten your load
I mean after all your legs are shakingAnd I can understand, all I need is your hand
Oh, won’t you take the fall? It is me after all
And I can understand, all I need is your hand
Oh, won’t you take the fall? It is me after allThere’s not much that you can do
To get me to run away from you
There’s not much that you can do
To get me to run away from you
So perfect right now. I turned this into a duet in my head on the train home today.
Every relationship you have ever formed is you having a closer look at yourself.

Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton? - a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? - You think wrong! - I have as much soul as you, - and as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty, and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh: - it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God’s feet, equal - as we are!
—Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë
Do what you want. Do what makes your heart happy and don’t ever hold back. Make a fool of yourself because who cares?
Never keep love a secret. Love is beautiful, even if it is unrequited. It is something we should share with the world every moment that we have. Because you never know when that moment could be the last one.
Don’t depend on someone else for your happiness. Go find your own happiness. Fall in love with you’re ready, not when you’re lonely.
And once you feel okay with being alone and single and on your own, you will find that you were never really alone. Maybe a little lonely, but never alone.
Because you’ve got family and friends who actually like you for who you are. So always be that person and never change for anybody but yourself.
You’re going to get everything you deserve out of life.

I was starting to grow used to your absence at such gatherings. But I’ll be honest. The party would not have have been the same for me without having you there.
I saw you walk in through the doors. If my 18 year old self was standing there, she’d squeal and wave frantically at you with the…
They say a woman
should be handled delicately
like a flower
that’s about to crumble
but there are moments
when I look in your eyes
and I completely disagree.
In those moments
I want you to throw me
to the ground
and pin me down.
I want to feel your strong hands
on my wrists

Loneliness is the human condition. Cultivate it. The way it tunnels into you, allows your soul room to grow. Never expect to outgrow loneliness. Never hope to find people who will understand you, someone to fill that space. An intelligent, sensitive person is the exception, the very great exception. If you expect to find people who will understand you, you will grow murderous with disappointment. The best you’ll ever do is to understand yourself, and know what you want.
—White Oleander by Janet Finch (via fuckoffunmentionable)
It’s that time of year when the world falls in love.
So, let’s do it.
